    Southland

    It's so close but sounds so different. I did not like the Southland stock. Which is why I modded mine with Ge clippers. The Lightspeed is still my #1 go to low gainer.

    Simble / Symbolic OD MKII mods?

    Also, which Simble? There some confusion with the Simble name. It was offered by Mad Professor (I think) but was not designed by Bjorn Juhls. It's a nice sounding Zen Drive variant. But the name "Simble" was re-purposed by Bjorn with his own company and I think that was more of a boost than an...

    Low Gain Silicon Transistors

    cuz it's....um.....kinda cool? :p I'd never seen it before so was curious. (yah, I hear you, I should have just breadboarded it......working on that....still, heh.)

    Southland

    Try putting a couple of BAT41's in the Southland, or low vf GE diodes. Makes it a really nice alternative to the Lightspeed.

    Low Gain Silicon Transistors

    This is a necro bump but I'm building this pedal and I don't get an HFE reading using the above method. My DCA75 gives me back 2 diodes. Have you tried this?

    PPCB Candid Drive ( Barber Direct Drive)

    I still have a Barber Direct Drive V2 that I bought in the early 2000's. One of the very few retail pedals I own. This version, the Candid Drive, adds some bells and whistles but is still basically the same drive. An under-appreciated MIAB pedal IMO. Nice job on the win!

    Sheepy Love (Blue Fish) Menatone Blue Collar

    More gain and more compression. It was built because people were asking for a higher gain RS.

    VHT Special 6 Ultra - lots of mods

    My VHT amp (D-Fifty) is very end user mod friendly. I'm assuming the Special 6 Ultra is the same? There's some good tones in that little thing!

    Clonish Comp (Aion Oceanid)

    This was my gateway compressor, first one I built. It was all over after that.....I think I've built every DIY compressor ever...hahaha. Yes it's subtle, yes it colors the tone, but it's still a cool compressor. Beautiful build as always my friend!

    Sheepylove Pelota 2 Delay

    The Magnetron sounds darker to me as well. But it's still a really solid PT2399 delay.

    DEMO Acer Overdrive (Altero Kaede)

    This is still my #1 favortite Timmy variant. This and the Powder Blue (Kingtone Blues Power). The Acer is just so versatile and has that typical Japanese EQ curve. My Acer spends a lot of time in my signal chain. Although at the moment I have the Barber LTD Silver (PPCB Sliver Drive) in its...

    General Tso

    The OTC-201 sounds just a tad "thinner" to me than the Tso. My love affair with the Tso is going on 3+ years now. It's my "always on". Edit: That could also be due to variables in the component, or Aion's layout vs @Robert 's. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's inherent in the circuit, they...
